Nice to see you back Kia. Why don't you build a Vision Trike? That would be a world first I think.
Now that would make an interesting project.
It wouldn't be the first.

OK so Kiawrench could make the first good looking vision trike.
My understanding is that O'Brien made the Vision Trike for a customer who had become disabled, so appearance probably wasn't a priority. I don't know how he came to own it, but he was trying to sell it in the late '90's-early 2000's for about $4,500.
Kia, you have been gone long enough for Kias to go from joke to nice cars. Good to hear from you again and good luck with your project.

Similar to Hyundai's trajectory.

Geez, now your making me feel old. I vote Can-am. they are pretty cool looking and you don't have
that strange can't go around corners too fast without tipping over thing.

Good luck !
have looked at a few local bikes,, mostly conversion /kit trikes . not bad , just not in any rush . top three I have looked at are a 2011 gold wing conversion with touring kit , a 2016 can-am , and a sparkly new , fresh from the box , everything included Polaris slingshot.
high dollar lookie -loo stuff ,,, but , I am only kicking tires .
Kia,
Did you get your new hips yet?
I got both of mine and it time to get back on the bikes.
just an update for all my old friends. I never did get another bike , seems I just never could decide. just happy to hang around local gun club and teach a class now and then.
Kia, you've been gone so long Kias are now reliable.
